Green Room: Wonderous Creatures

GiantsThis month in the Green Room we will be introducing students to creatures whose existence have always been in question. Each week will run in the same manner, allowing students to be miniature detectives, finding evidence and/or clues that will lead them to their own conclusions of whether or not they believe these creatures are real. We start each week with a brief introduction of the thing being explored, followed by the creation of an evidence board where students will place all of the evidence they collect. Evidence will consist of pictures, newspaper articles, hair, scales, etc.  After all evidence has been collected,  we will review the evidence and ask, “What do you think?
